Wolverhampton vs Manchester City Prediction – 16/08/2025

We say Manchester City to win 3-1

Predictions for the new season point to a resounding victory for Manchester City. With just one preseason friendly under their belts, the Citizens cruised to a 3-0 victory over Palermo. The perfect head-to-head record only boosts Guardiola’s squad’s self-assurance.

Pereira led Wolves to a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in May, part of City’s near-perfect H2H run of nine wins and one loss in five Premier League seasons.

Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals 

In our second prediction, we expect this match to see three or more goals. Manchester city’s recent games have been very eventful, with all of their last four games ending with over 2.5 goals. The same trend happened in two of Wolves’ past three games.

Match Preview: Wolverhampton vs Manchester City

In Vítor Pereira’s first pre-season, Wolves did not win a friendly, which was not ideal for supporters hoping to break the ‘August curse’ on the club. Since returning to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves have won just one of 20 August league matches (D9, L10), and Pereira cannot afford the pressure of a similar start, especially since the board has yet to offer him a long-term contract despite his nearly 50% win rate last season. 

City signed Wolves left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri for €36m to reclaim the Premier League title after a trophyless season, finishing third and losing the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace. They fought financial fair play charges and lost to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in Round 16 of the newly reformatted Club World Cup in June. They need to improve their away record, but seven of their eight wins last league season (D5, L6) came against bottom-half clubs (D3), so they should be confident of three points.
